Michael Shannon is a great actor still remember him from eight mile.

Bryan Cranston for transforming his acting career around from being the idiotic dad in Malcom in the Middle to the Drug King in Breaking Bad to now having the lead role in the new Godzilla movie.

This would have to be a must see film coming next month : "Long Walk to Freedom" The Nelson Mandella Story

Yeah I also love Leo, he is such a boss.. Shutter Island & Inception are simply amazing, the way the stories end had me thinking about what actually happened for days after watching them! Blood Diamond is also one of my favourites.

I thought the Great Gatsby was ok... The cinematography was pretty amazing, the sound track was fantastic, but keeping track of what was going on was a bit hard IMO because they were focussing on making it so glamourous.

I've heard good things about Django Unchained - what's it about, and would people recommend it?

Di Caprio in Gangs of New York, Titanic, Blood Diamond and The Great Gatsby are all worth a look.. 8)

I wasn't a big fan of it, but that's because I have read all the books. The story line is really good (since it comes from the book), but they changed Jack Reacher too much :(

I havent read the books so i can only judge from the movie, It was good but it needed a lot more action in my opinion.

See that's the thing, the books aren't actually action books, they are crime thrillers. So that's why there isn't a whole heap of Reacher going round just destroying everything. It's about building up suspense to set it up for the final confrontation. So yeah if you were going in expecting an action movie I can see why you would be disappointed.

Also interesting that they chose that book to make the movie off considering it's the 9th book in the series.

this ones fairly unknown from last year but is really good

Prisoners - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1392214/?ref_=nv_sr_1

i'd prob give it 8.5/10 but is 8.1/10 on imdb

not your normal kidnapping movie really edgy
Had been meaning to watch this for a while, but kept forgetting. So that was a nice reminder to download and watch it.

Really enjoyed it too. Jackman did a great job in a role which is so different to him playing Wolverine! Shows he is actually an extremely good actor :)
